The sound of heels patter against the
sleek shine of hardwood.
Yes, I am aware that
the assignment was not to
fall into the abyss of technology.
I am aware that
I am expected to ignore
the tantalizing traps
but sometimes my mind
has no motivation to combat
the demons of deviation
For it is a war
a war of mind
that cannot always be won.
Long nights of work assigned.
Duress, forcing my mind
to take an overtime shift
without rest.
Eventually
something
has to
give.
So yes,
I will complete the assignment
but on my own time.
I liked the way that you used alliteration throughout the poem, rather than just in one line. My favorite lines of your poem was the last two. I like the way you connect the struggles of school with something greater.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you used enjambment to promote a sense of defiance and rebelliousness. My favorite lines were the last two because they bring together the poem. The message of the poem is very interesting and unique.
ReplyDeleteI like the format of your poem – I think the line breaks really put a strong emphasis on certain words and phrases that really matter in the poem. I also really like the last two lines of your poem.
